In my mind, that will be the next shoe to drop if there continues to be conflicts. FAA will turn 91-57 from voluntary compliance to mandatory compliance.

Help me know Every circling after an approach that I can find in my Approach plates seems to have a a max of 1-1/2 miles and Non as low a 400' AGL most of these are to get to a runway that does not have a working instrument approach to the active runway because of wind ect.
Also there is an APE that made for androiad and IPhones that showsall the airports and their 5 mile radius and their extensions for Instrument approaches and I thought all the location of the Registered AMA fields here on a forum that showed all the places R/C flight would not be permitted above 400'.
There has never been any kind of problem (if only negligible) since so many people not familiar with R/C TOYs started flying because of Fomies and now Stabilized flight systems with GPS and route programing. Again it a matter of Educationg the Ignorant. Now the stupid are Unfix-able, I agree but they are Incarceration-able.
